[thelist] self.close() and IE 5.1 MAC

[Phil Essing]

Thanks for the quick response Mike.

I've tried everything, including using a few well placed alert()'s, to
no avail.  As I said previously, I'm only having trouble with IE 5.1
MAC.

Since my initial message I have discovered that calling self.close()
using the onclick event works just fine.  However, calling self.close()
using the onsubmit event refuses to work.

Try it for yourself and let me know what you find.
